If it is an older one that needs a bit more help I would use a product called NuVinyl. It actually replaces some of the compounds that vinyl loses with age and exposure. BTW you should put your top up at least several times a year for a bit to let it stretch and smooth out the creases.

Yeah & the interior gets dusty...But I make a point of not worrying to much about it as the only reason to own a convertible is so the top can be down....

After 8 years out in the elements the vynil still looks great. I also use it on the interior. Not oily, contains no silicone. http://www.303products.com/shop303/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=3
